Oh, fan-frakking-tastic. Texas is cooking us alive this weekend before giving us whiplash with a cold front. Can't wait.

**Brace your sweaty selves, North Texas! We're gonna be hotter than your mom's meatloaf this weekend. Sunday's gonna be the main course, before Monday's cold front dessert. Enjoy the sweat-fest, losers!**

Texas Weather: Because Mother Nature Can't Make Up Her Damn Mind

Hold onto your pumpkin spice lattes, folks — Texas is about to go full mood-swing mode. One minute it's shorts weather, the next you'll be digging out your ugly Christmas sweaters. Who said bipolar weather wasn't fun?

North Texas: The New Sahara Desert?

The Farmers' Almanac said it would be "warmer-than-average," but they should have just said, "Turn off your ovens, you can cook dinner on the sidewalk."

CBS News Texas is predicting 95℉ on Saturday and 96℉ on Sunday. Because who needs a sauna when you can just step outside, right?

And let's not forget Breckenridge, the new surface of the sun. AccuWeather says it's going to be 96℉ on Friday, 98℉ on Saturday, and a whopping 101℉ on Sunday. Might as well start practicing your "egg-frying on the pavement" TikToks.

Here's the AccuWeather forecast for the other unlucky cities:

City Friday's high Saturday's high Sunday's high
Dallas 94℉ 96℉ 98℉
Fort Worth 94℉ 95℉ 99℉
Arlington 93℉ 94℉ 98℉
Plano 91℉ 95℉ 98℉

But don't worry, all you cold-weather lovers. A strong cold front is expected Sunday night. Because why have consistent weather when you can have whiplash? Enjoy the 70s next week. Until then, try not to melt.
